Hi,

It turned out to be as simple as a time sync problem between the
database server and the web server.

Thanks,

Re: Windows 7 and DHCP

[Mike Haudenschild]

Is your "private" (VCL) DHCP server also running as a VM on the same ESXi
host?

RE: Windows 7 and DHCP

[Hechler, Adam]

Thanks for the reply Andy,

I had actually tried the ignoredefaultroutes=enabled once before and it didn't 
work. I tried it again. Still didn't work.

I also disabled the IPv6 early in the experimentation but I did also disable 
the Link-Layer Topology and I set the NIC for 100Mbps Full Duplex. 
I disabled the public interface. I tried to remove the route 0.0.0.0 but it did 
not exist. Just for ha-ha's I removed all routes and then disabled and 
re-enabled the private interface. And ... No good. I still get an 
autoconfiguration address of 169.254.104.39

There are no switches or routers in between. In fact the DHCP server is on the 
same server as VMWare Server. 

Our guys are going to double check the DHCP config against the DHCP server that 
is working. All things being equal, if the public interface pulls an address 
without problem from the public DHCP server but the private interface has 
troubles getting an IP address from the private DHCP server than it might be 
the DHCP server? 


Thanks,
Adam

Re: Windows 7 and DHCP

[Andy Kurth]

A few things to try...

Run the following command and then try to get a private DHCP address:
netsh interface ip set interface ""
ignoredefaultroutes=enabled

This causes Windows to never route any traffic on the private
interface through the default gateway.  The VCL capture code actually
sets this to prevent known/common routing problems with Windows
7/2008.

If this doesn't help, try disabling the public interface and delete
all default routes by running "route delete 0.0.0.0".  Try to get a
private DHCP address.

Could also try:
-Disable IPv6
-Set a static speed and duplex for the interface
-Disable Link-Layer Topology Discovery* on the interface

Are there any switches or routers between the Windows 7 computer and
the private DHCP server?  I have seen posts discussing similar DHCP
issues which were caused by the proxy arp configuration on a router.

Hope this helps,
Andy

RE: Windows 7 and DHCP

[Hechler, Adam]

Thanks Mike and Dmitri,

As to Mike reply…  I’ve disabled the firewall completely, no help. I’ve also 
set a static IP (with the one the DHCP server is offering) and I am able to ssh 
from the management node to the vm.

As to Dmitri’s reply… I’ve checked out that KB article and added those entries 
to the registry. No help.  There is no Relay Agent being used. The DHCP server 
is the same subnet as the management node.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions? How many of us are running Windows 
7 VMs with VMWare Server 2.x?

Thanks,
Adam

Subject: Re: Windows 7 and DHCP

Hi

I have the same issue with DHCP, which seems to only affect Win 7 (32 and 64). 
Linux and XP work OK.

I've disabled dhcp broadcast flag (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233) on 
both private and public interface on Win 7 image.
Since then I get a lot less DHCP errors on Win 7 reservations, but still get 
few once in a while.

Looking at my dhcpd logs files it seems like Win 7 doesn't not accept DHCPOFFER 
- I see multiple requests from Win 7, but it never gets IP address. Even when I 
manually run ipconfig /release, /renew.

Where is your DHCP server located?
Is it on the same subnet/broadcast domain or you have DHCP Relay agent on your 
subnet to communicate with DHCP server?

Thanks.

I have a Windows 7 base image (not captured yet). Both network interfaces are

(169.254.x.x).



We’ve tried the recommendation in the email message I linked to. Here’s what I

Yes, this is normal.  Whenever an image is created, the computer that
was used is automatically reloaded with the captured image when the
imaging process is complete.  The name wasn't just changed -- the
original VM was totally erased and a new one was created named after
the captured image.

Have you defined more than 1 VM in VCL?  If the only VM you have
defined is the one that was used to capture the image then you won't
be able to make a reservation until the end time of the reload
reservation is reached.  You can look at the request table to see if
there are any reservations preventing you from making a "Now"
reservation.

If you have multiple VMs, then there are a few things to check.  First
check the state of the VMs which the image is configured to load on.
Look at Manage Computers > Computer Utilities.  Are there any VMs in
the "Available" state?

If there are available computers, check the image-computer grouping
and mapping.  Make sure a path exists from your image to the computers
which are available according to the diagram on this page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=25200408

If everything seems to be mapped correctly, does the database reside
on the same computer as the web server?  There could be a time sync or
timezone issue.
